Black History Unveiled

About Black History Unveiled

Black History Unveiled: From the Continent to the Diaspora is a podcast by Swedish-Gambian journalist and author Amat Levin. It focuses on the part of world history that has received shockingly little attention. The podcast highlights gripping historical events, fascinating places, and exciting people that have been conspicuous by their absence in our history books. Some episodes are about things that happened hundreds, even thousands of years ago. Others take place more recently and touch on scenes many of us may have witnessed. The stories are inspiring, illuminating, startling, and sometimes upsetting. By listening, you'll learn why Black history has traditionally been suppressed, why it's essential to change that, and what learning about it can teach us about today. Hosted on Acast.

   In this episode of the Black History Unveiled podcast, we delve into a pivotal moment in history, not just for Africa but for Europe and beyond – a moment that has helped shape the modern world. Our focus today is on the period following the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade, a time that evolved into the crushing weight of colonialism.
